  • The Enemy allows this disappointment to occur on the threshold of every human endeavour. It occurs when the boy who had been enchanted in the nursery by “stories from the Odyssey” buckles down to really learning Greek. It occurs when lovers have got married and begin the real task of learning to live together. In every department of life it marks the transition from dreaming aspiration to laborious doing… and their lies our opportunity. But also, remember, there lies our danger. If once they get through this initial dryness successfully, they become much less dependent on emotion and therefore harder to tempt.
